CHRAJ was the second body that was tasked to investigate these corruption claims, after the Criminal Investigations Department\u2019s investigation was marred by some controversy.<\/p>\n
Mr. Jinapor welcomed CHRAJ\u2019s findings, saying they had been vindicated for the second time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI take the view that the combined effect of the CID\u2019s report and CHRAJ\u2019s investigative report has vindicated our reputation and exonerated us in this matter. \u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever it is, it is refreshing to hear about the outcome of the investigations. I am not surprised because from the very onset, I have always known that the entire brouhaha was much ado about nothing. It is refreshing and comforting that CHRAJ which is an independent body has gone into this matter and come out with a petition.”<\/p>\n
CID controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n The Criminal Investigations Department also found the allegations baseless.<\/p>\n But that investigation was marred by some controversy after an audio recording said to be a leaked recording of a conversation between the then-Deputy Director of the CID, ACP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah and A-Plus, in which the police officer was heard advising A-Plus to deny the allegations because is a member of the NPP.<\/p>\n ACP Addo-Danquah denied the suggestions of a cover-up and accused A-Plus of doctoring the circulating audio. Observers believed that this audio compromised the integrity of the CID’s probe.<\/p>\n Background to Unibank, Korle bu issues<\/strong><\/p>\n The onsite banking services at Korle Bu were needed to deal with revenue leaks that had saddled the hospital.<\/p>\n In 2015, six banks were shortlisted to undergo a competitive selection process where Stanbic Bank emerged first and UniBank was fourth.<\/p>\n But when the hospital submitted the names of the two banks to the Controller and Accountant General\u2019s Department for approval, issues were raised about weaknesses in UniBank\u2019s operations in two other hospitals.<\/p>\n Korle Bus still went ahead to sign a MoU appointing UniBank to simultaneously collect revenue in the Hospital with Stanbic Bank.<\/p>\n As the two banks started the onsite banking services, the revenue leaks persisted and the hospital\u2019s management decided to adopt an End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software to integrate and network its operations.<\/p>\n Stanbic Bank and UniBank were both requested to submit proposals for an End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software in 2015.<\/p>\n Stanbic Bank successfully presented an efficient software, while UniBank was alleged to have failed to turn up during the two presentation sessions, thus the hospital awarded a contract to Stanbic Bank.<\/p>\n Unibank, however, denied missing the presentation but said it was sidelined by the hospital.<\/p>\n The End-to-End Hospital Revenue Collection Software was also said to be not compatible with the UniBank\u2019s system thus the hospital decided to discontinue the MoU with UniBank in order to enable Stanbic Bank to deploy the new software throughout the entire Hospital.<\/p>\n But this was followed by the hospital rescinding the decision.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana![\"\"](\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Korle-bu-1.jpg\")
